Description

Classic prewar proportions, fantastic light, charm and detail characterize this spacious one-bedroom, fifth-floor apartment in the heart of tree-lined Brooklyn Heights. As you walk in, the foyer, complete with two large closets, welcomes you into the large, open living area which offers plenty of space for dining and a home office. Two oversized windows bring in abundant light throughout the day and look over the lovely gardens below. The windowed kitchen has a new stainless steel fridge and dishwasher and offers great work and storage space, including restored original built-ins. The bathroom is well-appointed with classic tile, a large pedestal sink, and a beautiful leaded glass window. The bedroom, which is truly kind-sized, has southern and eastern exposure and is incredibly quiet end serene. Other features of the apartment include high ceilings and new hardwood floors. The neo-classical, elevator building, "The Colonial", has a live-in super, central laundry and private storage and bike storage in the basement. A block and a half from 6 different subway lines, and a short jaunt to all the businesses and amenities of Montague Street, Atlantic Avenue, Smith and Court Streets, as well as the Brooklyn Bridge Park and the Promenade--the location is amazing! Pets allowed too!
